Your smile should look natural and healthy, not marked by dark spots from old dental work. If you have silver restorations that stand out when you talk or laugh, it may be time to consider non-metal fillings. Modern materials allow us to repair cavities while keeping your smile bright and beautiful.

In the past, metal amalgam was commonly used to treat decay. While durable, these fillings can become more noticeable over time. They may discolor and cause the surrounding tooth to appear darker. For many patients, this affects confidence as much as the cavity itself once did.

At Bell & Bell Dentistry, we use tooth-colored composite materials to restore teeth. These non-metal fillings are carefully matched to the shade of your enamel, so they blend in naturally. Most people will not notice you have had treatment at all.

Why Choose Non-Metal Fillings?

  • They are designed to match the color of your teeth.
  • They bond directly to the tooth, providing added support.
  • They allow us to preserve more healthy structure.
  • They do not contain metal, including mercury.
  • They create a smooth, natural-looking result.

If a tooth has more significant damage, we may recommend a custom inlay or onlay to strengthen and restore it. For larger areas of decay or cracks, a dental crown can protect the tooth while improving its appearance.
